Trans in the Workplace
Posted by helenboyd – October 24, 2011
http://www.myhusbandbetty.com/2011/10/24/trans-in-the-workplace/A magazine called Insight Into Diversity recently did an article on transgender issues in the workplace. I was interviewed for it, as were Jillian Weiss, author of Transgender Workplace Diversity and Vanessa Sheridan, author of The Complete Guide to Transgender in the Workplace, amongst others.
Dr. Weiss indicates that the issue of being transgender is increasingly coming to the fore. More people are in an environment where they feel more comfortable coming out, so more employers will be experiencing transitioning employees. "The time to prepare," she says, "is now. If you have a decent size workforce, it's likely that you will deal with a transitioning employee. It's a question of when, not if."
